Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing 25-year-old versatile Spanish attacker Ferran Torres from Barcelona.
Ferran Torres has been linked with the move back to the Premier League in recent windows, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham can get the deal done. According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, they have submitted an offer of around €65 million to sign the Spanish international.
The 25-year-old has been a very useful player for Barcelona, and he could be the ideal utility man for Tottenham. He is capable of operating anywhere across the front three. He will add goals and creativity to the side. The player is at the peak of his career, and he could make an instant impact in the Premier League.
Ferran Torres won two Premier League titles during his time at Manchester City, and he knows English football well. He should be able to settle in quickly. Tottenham need more depth in the attacking unit, and it is no surprise that they are interested in the Spanish international, having also pursued him earlier this year.
The 25-year-old could be attracted to the idea of joining Tottenham. It would allow him to play regularly. The Spaniard has not been a regular starter for Barcelona, and it would make sense for him to leave them and join a club where he will play regularly.
Will Barcelona agree to sell Ferran Torres?
It will be interesting to see if Barcelona are willing to sanction his departure. They are going through financial limitations and €65 million is a tempting offer for a player who is not a regular starter for them. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Tottenham will need to improve their squad in January if they want to finish high in the table. The North London club started the season really well, but their form has dipped in recent months. They will look to bounce back strongly in the coming months. Spurs should look to bring in quality players when the transfer window reopens.
The Lilywhites have an exciting project and a talented squad. The Spanish international could fancy joining them. Regular football with them could help him cement his place in the Spanish national team for the upcoming World Cup.
